Definitions
- Prior art pipe and electrical flashings exist to seal penetrations on roofs.
- Prior art pipe and electrical flashings provide elastic seals which utilize a combination of metal and rubber pieces. These rubber pieces are exposed to the elements and eventually degrade, allowing elements such as moisture in the home.
- roof mounting assembly described herein is a waterproof assembly mounting devices such as solar panels and signs on roofs.
- Another aspect of the device described herein is to provide a flashing assembly which requires no caulking or exposed rubber. If desired, caulking or other weather stripping can be added without changing the nature of the assembly.
- One application uses the watertight standoff system to support interlocking racks which hold solar panels and/or other panels off the surface of a roof.
- a body is used to encapsulate a flexible washer to protect the washer from ultra violet light and other environmental factors that degrade the flexible washer. This also allow the flexible washer to be put under pressure to create a more water resistant seal.
- the washer is or can be compressed between elements of the roof mounting system and not between elements of the roof or other surface. Therefore, as the roof components age (wood dries out, shingles age) the water proof nature of the disclosed roof mounting systems does not change.
- Known prior systems rely on the roof structure to maintain pressure of the waterproof seal, which may be degraded as the roof elements age, i.e. a rafter may dry out and split.
- the washer can be used to separate elements made of dissimilar metals. Given the materials above the roof are in environmental conditions that are uncontrollable and can cause severe damage to many products, the washer separates and prolongs the life of the metal embodiments of the roof mounting assembly components due to the nature that they are dielectrically separated by the silicone rubber (or other material) washer.
